Should be pretty easy.

What does this poem represent?

One

A Poem


A Raven


Midnights so dreary, tired and weary,

Silently pondering volumes extolling all by-now obsolete lore.
During my rather long nap - the weirdest tap!
An ominous vibrating sound disturbing my chamber's antedoor.
"This", I whispered quietly, "I ignore".

Nope. It represents something else....

Bit of a clue - it's akin to c or e.

Anyone else want to have a try, or shall I give the solution?

Uber-massive clue:

Count the number of letters in each word.

A neighbers music, the sound vibrating the walls during the night, and the person trying to get to sleep and ignore it?

Dunno where the numbers bit comes in though

If you count the number of letters in each word, you end up with the constant pi. The whole poem goes on quite a way.
